Blizzard has been clarifying how some phase loot works in Classic WoW. While some parts remain unclear, as to preserve an element of exploration, other parts have received more clarifications. For example, Thunderfury Bindings will be available at launch.\r\rAs some of these changes contradict past details on Classic loot, we are working hard to update our Added in Phase filters with the new information. Here are some of the changes we have made in the past few hours, please email if you think an item needs a changed phase:\rAll Molten Core loot moved to P1\rQuest rewards from Searing Gorge and Hinterlands hubs like Люфа and Руна капитана стражи moved to P1\rAll dungeon loot added in 1.3-1.9 moved to P1\rAll Azuregos and Kazzak Loot moved to P2\rAll AQ loot moved to P5\rAll twink WSG vendor loot moved to P3\rMoved most 1.3-1.9 recipes to P1 if the reputation was around in p1. Moved Cenarion Circle rep items to P5.\rStill confusing how all Cenarion Circle\/Silithus quests are split, so did not change quest rewards for now. Also did not change WSG epics added in P6.\r\r\r\r\rRaid Drops\rEarlier in 2019, Ion Hazzikostas tweeted "I'd expect 1.4 additions would be Phase 2; 1.5 additions would be Phase 3. In general, Phase 2 is 1.3-1.4, Phase 3 is 1.5-1.6, Phase 4 is 1.7-1.8, etc. There may be some exceptions I'm failing to recall, but that's the general structure." \r\rThis led players to assume that loot added in dungeons and raids in mid-vanilla patches would be added in later content phases. For example Клинок с обсидиановым лезвием was added in Patch 1.4, which would correspond to Phase 2, while Ремень Нападения was added in Patch 1.5, which would correspond to Phase 3.\r\rHowever, based on the reply at this Reddit AMA, it appears that all loot from a raid will be available when the raid opens. So Клинок с обсидиановым лезвием and Ремень Нападения, as they both drop in Molten Core, would be phase 1.\r\r\rYes, items like Obsidian Edged Blade will be in during Phase 1. This is due to a related decision to not bring back the original item stats, because it would have felt really weird if an item's stats changed while you were wearing it.\r\rWe think it would feel weird to drop Tier 2 items with their 1.12 item stats in Molten Core (except the Tier 2 pants from Ragnaros, of course).\r\rBy this logic, other raids with loot split across patches, such as Джом Габбар added after the opening of AQ, would be available when the raid opens.\r\rNo Drop Table Changes Between Phase 1 and Phase 2\rPlayers were also curious how dungeon drops would work. While there was a big loot revamp in Patch 1.10, items were added after launch in other patches, such as Багровая фетровая шляпа in Phase 1.4, which based on Ion's tweet, would set it in Phase 2. However based on the reply below, that would now drop in Phase 1.\r\rAlso this post confirms that Громовая ярость, благословенный клинок Искателя Ветра Bindings will be available at Classic Launch, even though it was added in 1.6 (Phase 3 by Ion's tweet). However, you'll still need to run BWL to complete the quests.\r\r\r\rPlease clarify whether this means drop % or actual item drop tables. Changing mageblade drop % when more items get added to the table isn't that big of a deal, changing whether bindings drop in Phase 1 is entirely different.\r\rThey're related. Imagine a drop-table that has 2 items that each has a 50% chance to drop. If you restrict it so one of those can't drop, the other one just became a 100% chance to drop, or you have to have a 50% chance to drop nothing.\r\rThere are various items throughout the game that were added later, and which we've restricted to later phases, but we took a careful look at any item we decided to restrict to make sure it didn't affect the drop-rates of other items too much. If it did, we went back and pulled an earlier version of the drop table, so it would have an appropriate loot distribution, and the biggest of these changes was in Phase 5 (from the patch 1.10 change).\r\rThat said, none of those drop-table changes occur between Phase 1 and 2. They're all in later phases. So yes, Bindings can drop in Phase 1. Good luck getting both of them. :) (I'm still missing one...)\r\r\r\rThe Phase 5 Dungeon Loot Revamp\rAn initial developer reply made it seem that only bosses that dropped relics in 1.10 would receive revamped loot tables, implying other 1.10 catchup gear would be available in Phase 1. Blizzard confirmed this was not the case, and all the new dungeon loot added in 1.10 would come in Phase 5 like Тюрбан чароплета.\r\r\rFor me, some of the fun of clearing a dungeon is discovering the loot as you go, but for those who want more information: the drop tables are mostly from 1.12.\r\rThere is a significant exception to that, in Phase 5, when Relics are added to drop tables. When they were originally added, in patch 1.10, they affected drop tables significantly enough that simply removing relics from the drop table until Phase 5 wouldn't be sufficient. It would have had effects on the drop-rates of other items that we didn't feel were acceptable or authentic. So for that specific change to item drops, we did reproduce the boss drop-tables from the previous patch (1.9). Before Phase 5, the affected bosses have the 1.9 drop tables, and once Phase 5 hits, they'll use the 1.10 drop tables.\r\rThat change doesn't affect MC or Onyxia very heavily, so you should expect those drops to launch in a state very similar to their final phase 6 state. Again I don't want to give it all away, so I'll leave a bit to exploration and discovery here. :)\rThis seems mindbogglingly stupid. You're releasing catchup gear released in 1.10 at the same time as the original pre-DM loot tables? So MC and BWL will be an even bigger cakewalk with catchup gear meant for AQ\/Naxxramas?\r\rEdit: For instance, why would casters ever go Onyxia now? Mages' tier 2 headpiece is strictly worse than Spellweaver's Turban from Upper Blackrock Spire. Such a dumb change.\r\rThe catch-up gear added in 1.10 won't be available until Phase 5.\r\rThe MC tables weren't affected very much by the 1.10 changes. Almost all of their loot was the same from 1.5 to 1.12, so the changes you see to MC throughout our content unlocks will be very minor.\r\rQuest Rewards\rSome quest hubs added after vanilla launch in later patches, will be available starting at Classic launch, such as Jinatha'alor which rewards Руна капитана стражи.\r\r\rHi judgement_classicwow, and thanks for the question.\r\rAs \/u\/pazorax mentioned earlier, we want there to be some exploration and discovery to this, so I can't dig super deep into exact specifics around when individual quests, items, or rep items will be available. Painting in broad strokes however, Thorium Point and Jintha'alor quests should be available during phase 1. Most quests in Cenarion Hold will be available during phase 5 along with the AQ Gate opening content. The general methodology was to make quests, recipes, items, and the like available when it makes sense to do so and feels relevant to the rest of the available content.\r

Should we expect The Eye Of Divinity in phase 2? Or will it be available at the start?\r\rI moved that to Phase 1 for now. However I kept the hunter items as P2 as you need Azuregos for that.

Should be available at the start since that dropped from MC. And if Onslaught Girdle, Obsidian Edged Blade AND the Bindings of the Windseeker are available from the start in the Classic servers I see no reason why the Eye of Divinity and the Ancient Petrified Leaf shouldn\u2019t drop from Executus cache right away.

I moved that to Phase 1 for now. However I kept the hunter items as P2 as you need Azuregos for that.

Not really, the Sinew can also drop (VERY RARELY) from the elite blue dragons in Winterspring and it\u2019s BoE, also while it gives you the Ancient Laminated Quiver I should mention that the quest for it it\u2019s optional. You can complete the other two quests for the bow and staff without having to complete the one for the quiver (yes, I know the quiver it\u2019s amazing but it wont stop your quest chain if you dont get it).

It's funny to see how many people think they can get Громовая ярость, благословенный клинок Искателя Ветра. What they don't remember is that it's a guild effort to get one. They'd better be high ranked in their guilds!\r\rThere is just so much people seem to be forgetting about vanilla. You actually needed a strong guild, not just a bunch of people together for convenience like most guilds now.

So will the item Pendant of Celerity be available during phase one or not?

To quote John Cleese\r\r"And what leads you to that conclusion?"

So will the item Pendant of Celerity be available during phase one or not?\r\rI believe that's still p5 because it drops from a boss which is tied to the dungeon armor quest line, confirmed to be in Phase 5.
